Thank you so much for this great review Michael, your kind recommendation is much appreciated
A Great First Step into Board Advisory
I had a great experience with Connectd and would happily recommend the Board Advisor Academy.
The programme was well structured, with clear, practical and engaging learning materials that provided valuable insights into the role of a board advisor. It has given me a strong foundation as I embark on this new journey.
One of the things that really stood out was the Connectd community and the opportunity to benefit from the programme’s one to one mentoring. I’m looking forward to meeting my mentors, learning from their experience and continuing to develop as I build my advisory career.
A big thank you to the Connectd team for delivering such a professional and valuable programme.

Very structured program
Very structured program. Good training material and once I was done with the advisor training I was able to get an advisor position. Even if you already have one, the site lets you connect with other companies for more opportunities. The one thing I noticed is that a lot of startups look for GTM advice so if you’re on the technical front you’ll have a bit less opportunities

Thank you for your thoughtful review and for sharing your experience. We’re glad to hear the training program helped you prepare for and secure an advisor position, and that you found value in the opportunity to connect with additional companies.
Connectd had both positives and challenges.
My experience with Connectd had meaningful positives, especially given the long runway of the Texture 2‑year agreement. The onboarding and staff orientation were clear, well‑structured, and easy to follow, which made getting started straightforward. The mentorship program was the strongest part of the platform and provided real value throughout my time in the program.
It did take nearly three months to secure a placement, and I ultimately invested in membership fees and six months of pro‑bono work without seeing a direct ROI. While the traction was slower than expected, I appreciated the professionalism of the team and the support provided along the way, particularly through mentorship. The experience gave me insight into how Connectd operates and how founders and advisors can collaborate within the platform.

If you are a startup founder looking for expert guidance, I cannot recommend Connectd enough.
My experience with them has been brilliant. What stood out to me right away was how seamless the entire journey was the onboarding process was smooth, and filtering through to find and choose the perfect mentor was incredibly straightforward.
For startups, having access to someone with vast, real-world experience in your specific field is a game-changer. Connectd bridges that gap perfectly. I highly recommend joining if you want to give your business the right edge!

From punching the clock to pursuing my passion
I joined Connectd with the hope of sharing my research, experience, and methodologies in improving organizational alignment, execution, and performance with start-ups. Within a few months, I landed my pro-bono placement with a start-up that shares my passions, in this case in the world of healthcare. I am now functioning in the role of Fractional COO working closely with the founder to prepare for the initial launch of a global platform to improve medical education, leadership, and patient outcomes. We are also in the process of discussing equity and profit sharing arrangements as part of my continued involvement. I would highly recommend Connectd to anyone who has more to offer the world than just punching the clock to make someone else rich.

Charges consultants/advisors a fee, not the companies
Contacted me recently, and sounded interesting until I realized it was just a sales call. They charge "advisors" rather than companies, which makes zero sense. There's a company out there looking for a senior advisor, and will to pay the extremely high hourly rate that you would charge, but isn't willing to pay a fee to the recruiter? Yeah, come on. Makes zero sense. I'd be surprised if any company is really hiring from this place. As soon as I realized they just wanted to sell me some expensive service, I dropped the call. Complete waste of time.

If you would like to discuss your experience further we are always contactable through the info@connectd.co address
Did not deliver what was promised
Not really for me - I'm less inclined to the old-fashioned way of doing things, had no matches and have found no roles that work for me.
Not found a mentor that works for me either.
Training was ok, but nothing revolutionary. Found roles elsewhere of my own accord.
Subscription portal typical where theres no cancellation option and no contact details so they are hoping to get you auto-renewed for 12 months without challenge.
Not for me, sorry.
Updated - they reached out to me only after this review, so I have dropped to one star. Also i echo what others say about classification of what is a startup, some of the opportunities are barely a company and I dont think there is any strict criteria on what is accepted. I have also received emails from people from connectd sharing relevant roles which weren't relevant so its clear the knowledge or training internally isnt great. Thats £2880 down the drain....

Hi NJT,
We’re sorry to hear that your experience with Connectd left you feeling disappointed.
Connectd takes data protection obligations seriously and has established processes for handling account closure and data-related requests. We have no interest in retaining information beyond what is required and would always encourage members with outstanding concerns to contact us directly so they can be addressed appropriately.
Given the limited information provided we are unable to investigate the matter through a public review, so we would like to kindly ask you to contact us directly at info@connectd.co. Our support team would be keen to support and carefully review your case.
We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve the experience we provide to our members.
I’ve found Connectd to be well worth it so far.
I joined Connectd earlier this year to support my transition into board advisory, and I’ve been impressed thus far.
The onboarding was quick and straightforward, supported by a friendly, responsive, and knowledgeable team. The community felt welcoming from the start, and the advisor certification program was a valuable refresher on best practices that helped build my confidence.
One of the biggest benefits has been the quality of the network. I was paired with a highly experienced mentor in my field and region, and I’ve been struck by the caliber of advisors, operators, and founders on the platform. The mix of B2B and D2C companies across various industries creates opportunities to learn from different perspectives.
As a U.S.-based advisor, I've also found Connectd's international reach valuable. The platform provides visibility across both the U.S. and U.K. startup ecosystems, helping me expand my network and connect with founders I otherwise wouldn't have met. I even saw an immediate increase in traffic to my LinkedIn profile after announcing my membership.
While there is an upfront investment, I see it as just that. In a world where most professional communities charge membership fees, the value is in the quality of connections, opportunities, and visibility. For advisors looking to build meaningful relationships with founders and expand their portfolios, I’ve found Connectd to be well worth it so far.

Great for transitioning from an exec to portfolio career
I have recently completed the Board Advisor programme with Connect'd and have found it useful in transitioning from an executive to a portfolio career. The main benefits from my perspective were (1) the training/webinars which put clear definition around terms such as board advisor/NED/fractional etc. which the industry uses interchangeably; (2) the chance to try out the role with a company and (3) the mentorship I received throughout the programme. It definitely helped me to 'cross the chasm' between career phases with guidance from those who have already successfully completed the journey.

A company I didn't know my career needed.
If you are looking to transition into board advisory roles, expand your portfolio, or enter the fractional executive space, I can’t recommend Connectd enough. My experience with them has been nothing short of exceptional.What sets Connectd apart is that they understand modern leadership isn't one-size-fits-all. They are much more than just a pipeline for traditional board seats—they have built a robust ecosystem that seamlessly connects top-tier talent with startups needing agile, fractional C-suite members. Whether a growth-stage company needs deep operational leadership or strategic board governance, the platform covers it all. For me, they provided a structured, straightforward pathway to step into these spaces with confidence. The training courses are high-value and incredibly easy to navigate, breaking down the exact mechanics of modern advisory and fractional roles.Beyond the education, the team actually delivers. They didn't just give me the tools; they actively helped me secure my first opportunity as a board advisor to some truly amazing startups. Along the way, the friendly, supportive team made the entire process seamless, and the networking has allowed me to connect with some fantastic, forward-thinking professionals.Whether you want to lend your C-suite expertise to scaling businesses on a flexible basis or secure a formal seat at the table, Connectd is the perfect partner to get you there.

The best advisors don’t provide all the answers.
They ask better questions.
I’ve recently completed the Board Advisor Academy with Connectd, deepening my understanding of effective advisory practice, governance, founder support, and strategic decision-making.
The experience reinforced something I’ve believed throughout my career: sustainable growth comes from understanding what’s changing outside the business — consumers, culture, markets, and technology — and helping leadership teams translate those shifts into meaningful action.
As I continue building KC Advisory and working with founders, leadership teams, and growth-stage businesses, I’m excited to bring an even stronger advisory lens to conversations around growth, innovation, customer understanding, and future opportunities.
Here’s to helping businesses ask better questions, make smarter decisions, and build for what’s next.
Thank you Connectd!

Congratulations on completing the Board Advisor Academy Kayla a fantastic achievement.
Your reflection on advisory work really resonates: the value of great advisors isn’t in having all the answers, but in helping businesses ask the right questions at the right time.
The combination of governance, market awareness, customer understanding, and strategic thinking is what enables sustainable growth, especially for founders navigating constant change. Excited to see how you continue bringing that perspective through KC Advisory and supporting ambitious businesses in building for the future.
Well deserved — and best of luck for the next chapter.
